It happens from time to time. Your patient has a hemothorax or pneumothorax and you insert a chest tube. Well done! But then the xray comes back:

The last hole in the drain is outside the chest! What to do???

Here are the questions that need to be answered:

• Pull it out, leave it, or push it in?
• Does length of time the tube has been in make a difference?
• Does BMI matter?

Leave comments below regarding what you do. Hints tomorrow and answers on Monday!
